Brainy Learning Bot

Open Source Chatbot built with Next JS, OpenAI's GPT-3.

An Artificial intelligence chatbot that can research any topic of interest.

It can be used to further develop knowledge in an unknown area of science. It can help students further understand complex ideas.

The main goal of brainy is to become an effective instrument to gain knowledge. However, it's best use will be to educate less privileged parts of the world, even in their native tongue.

How does it work? Brainy works by taking in a piece of text and then predicting the next word or phrase that should come after it. In order to accomplish this, it uses a deep learning algorithm called GPT-3, which has been trained on a large corpus of text. This allows it to capture the statistical patterns of how words are used together in a sentence.

Brainy's value comes with the continuous context based conversation. With each reply, Brainy receives the previous conversations which helps develop a fruitful conversation.

It can be used for a variety of tasks that involve natural language generation, such as machine translation, question answering, and text summaries. GPT-3 can even be used to generate new texts from scratch, such as stories or articles. GPT-3 chatbot can be very helpful in research and to help students understand complex ideas by generating natural language based on inputted text.

Once you have logged in a conversation will be created or resumed with Brainy.
